Remember, Remember

She slowly walked down the hall, following the old man, now known to her as the "3rd Hokage", with the gray-haired man, and the three kids behind them. Her bare feet burned on the hot cement as she looked for a way to escape. People were staring now, for she still had her hunter mask on. A doctor not far off came to see what the fuss was all about, but when he got there, he was so surprised, he dropped his suitcase. He thought, 'I can't believe she came back'.

Kakashi was watching her intently, his brain registering any movements she made. 'Does Hokage know who she is? Why were we supposed to capture her? Why her, why me?' he questioned himself. He watched Saki with sympathy, 'Poor thing doesn't remember anything.'

Her eyes were darting from side to side, watching the people watching her, looking for a small hole. A smile came over her face when she saw a break in the wall of people. Saki took the chance to escape, and swiftly turned to the right and started to run as fast as she could. Suddenly, a hand grabbed hers, and pulled her back. She turned around to stare into the masked face of Kakashi, her own mask almost colliding with his face.

"What do you people want from me?" she shouted in his face, her eyes narrowing.

Kakashi smiled and then said, "I have absolutely no idea."

"Then just let me go home!" she said, her voice cracking.

"This is your home," he said in a strangely grave voice.

"No, it's not! I don't even know where this place is!" she whispered, on the verge of tears.

"But it is your home,"

"Then why don't I remember anything? Why don't I-" her voice was interrupted by the cork that seemed to have appeared in her throat, as tears rimmed her eyes.

"Don't cry. Hey, why are you crying?" he asked in a caring voice not normally heard coming from his mouth.

"I don't know!" she said as he put an arm around her, "I don't remember anything!" He slowly started walking her back, people watching every step. The team stared in disbelief at what Kakashi had done, for it wasn't everyday that you got to see that perverted man do something like that.

"I'll help you remember," he whispered into her ear, so only she could hear it.

----------------------------

As they arrived to Kakashi's house and departed with the rest of the group, it was almost night. Only when they walked into the house, did she take off her mask, showing a pale face with big blood-red eyes, a rounded chin, almost perfectly shaped lips, and a nose with a bump in the middle because of the times it has been broken. The rims of her eyes were now also a bright red from the tears she had cried. Kakashi went further into the house, and came out with a long shirt.

"Here, wear this," he said.

"But I'm already wearing something," Saki answered back.

"I mean for pajamas," he chuckled.

"Oh," she said as she grabbed the big shirt from his hands, and somehow, managed to find the bathroom on her first try. 'So, you still know where the bathroom is,' thought Kakashi with a chuckle.

----------------------------

As she was about to get out of the bathtub, a certain pervert came in.

"Here, I brought you a towel," he said with a wolfish grin. She screamed as she hid behind the shower curtain, and then suddenly collapsed.

"Saki? Saki!" he raised his voice, and then wrapped her in a towel. Kakashi then proceeded to take her to the doctor.

----------------------------

A 14-year-old Saki stood in the shower. The water poured over her body until she turned it off. She could hear muffled voices outside the door, but she didn't care. Then, suddenly, the door slid open, and in came... a young Kakashi.

"Sensei told me to give you this towel," he grinned, and then saw that she was naked and a huge blush spread across his face.

After standing for a few seconds just silently staring at each other, Saki screamed, "Pervert!"

Hearing the commotion, their Sensei, the 4th Hokage, decided to see what it was all about.

"What's going-" he stopped when he saw the conflict. His face turned a bright red, and all he could do was stand there.

"Sensei, you pervert!" Saki shouted as she ran behind the curtain. Then, she realized that it was clear, and gathered all of her courage to push both men out of the room and then close the door.

That night, she ate silently as the two men looked down and blushed.

----------------------------

As her eyes opened, she saw the face of Kakashi and the three kids who she perceived to be his team. They were all looking intently at her, their concentration almost unbearable.

Her eyes wandered around, looking at each of their faces. When her eyes fell on the blond one, she screamed, "Pervert!"

Everybody looked at him, and the pink-haired girl said, "What did you do, Naruto?"

"Nothing, I swear!" he answered.

"He's the one who walked in on me!" Saki shouted with wide eyes.

"Nothing, huh?" Sakura said, now getting mad.

"Sakura-chan, please," Kakashi said, holding back Sakura. He then looked at her and said, "So, you're remembering now?"

"Remembering?"

"Yeah, you probably just remembered that time when me and Sensei walked in on you,"

"What more could be expected of you," said Sasuke.

"Sensei?" asked Saki.

"Yeah, that other blond guy with the spiky hair," answered Kakashi.

Saki tilted her head to the side to emphasize that she didn't understand. Kakashi sighed, "You were on the same team as me when we were 14."

"Really?" asked the other four simultaneously. A sweat drop appeared in Kakashi's forehead as he sat down and explained a simplified version of the story. Apparently, Saki had been in his team ever since Obito died. There had been one incident of Kakashi and the 4th Hokage walking in on her, and maybe more that he didn't describe.

"Oh, by the way," Kakashi said, "this is my team. This is Sakura," he said pointing to the pink-haired one, "Sasuke," he was now pointing to the black-haired one, "and last, but not least, Naruto," he said with a sigh as he pointed at the blond one. They all smiled when he introduced them, except Sasuke who just nodded at her. In some way, she could see that they had been cursed in some way. The way Sakura's eyes had looked at her, the way Naruto had flinched just a bit when Kakashi had said his name, and how expressionless Sasuke had looked when he nodded. A sympathetic smile spread over her face, and yet, it was reassuring in some way as well.

When the whole team had left, Kakashi took her hand and led her to some place she didn't know. He had dragged her to a huge mountain with four faces carved into it.

"What is this?" she asked.

"I just wanted to show you how important Sensei had been to this whole village,"

"Had been?"

"Yeah, he died saving this town,"

"Oh," she didn't need to ask anymore questions, her heart already throbbed with enough pain. 'Whoever this person was, he must've been important to me,' she thought. Saki slowly traced the man's face, and collapsed yet again, to be caught by Kakashi.

----------------------------

The man she knew as Sensei came up to her cautiously.

"No-one's here," he whispered.

"Then why are you whispering?" her own voice rang out with laughter. He laughed with her for a few seconds, and then traced his hand across the left side of her face. Her heart was racing a race unlike ever seen before.

The 4th Hokage sweetly kissed her lips and then said, grabbing her hand, "Come on, I have something to show you."

----------------------------

She once again woke up, but this time to only Kakashi's face was staring intently at her. Saki slowly got up and collapsed on Kakashi. She let tears flow freely from her eyes. Kakashi slowly put his arms around her and kissed her forehead.

"What'd you remember now?" he asked, his voice soft.

"I saw him, and he k-k-kiss-" she stopped choking on her own tears, and spit. But Kakashi understood, and he pushed her closer to his body.

He let go and traced the left side of her face and said, "Like this?" His face moved closer to hers and when they were about to kiss, she pulled away from his embrace and slapped him, hard. She ran around the couch they were on, and ran out of the house. He quickly got up and jumped over the couch. Once he was outside, Saki was already out of reach. When he was about to run after her, that little voice in his head told him to just let her go.

Saki ran and ran, crying the whole way, to the four faces carved into the mountain. When she got there, she stopped and fell on her knees, sobbing. She traced the left side of the 4th's face. That night, she slept underneath his carving on the mountain.
